Hurricane Prepareness

Bracing for
the Storm

Some of nature’s most intense and destructive events can be attributed to windstorms and hurricanes. The best defense against a windstorm or hurricane is a great offense: make sure you have a plan!

What’s the Difference Between Hurricanes and Windstorms?

Both hurricanes and windstorms involve powerful winds, but each has unique features and risks to be aware of to protect your home and family. It’s important to have a checklist of practical steps for before, during, and after a storm to protect your home and family. A good place to start, is by assessing your risk and evaluating your home insurance policy.

Understand Your Risk and Your Home Insurance Policy

Learn about the storm risks in your area and review your home insurance policy with your agent to ensure you have adequate coverage. Be aware of what your deductible is and have a plan in place for how to pay it if necessary.

Don’t forget, too, that standard homeowner’s insurance policies do NOT cover flood loss, and federal flood insurance policies have a 30-day waiting period before they go into effect. American Integrity’s Flood Endorsement has no waiting period and offers better coverage and lower rates compared to the NFIP. Speak with your agent about our flood coverage today.
